After a "millennia or two" of laying low in the Dark Times, according to [[River Song]]'s estimation, the Kotturuh began spreading throughout the universe, distributing mortality to the species of the universe ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Guide to the Dark Times (short story)|The Guide to the Dark Times]]'') according to their "Design".

According to River Song, the [[Dæmon]]s fought back and were rendered all but extinct ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Guide to the Dark Times (short story)|The Guide to the Dark Times]]'') in a "private Gotterdämmerung" which left their home planet [[Dæmos]] littered with gigantic skeletons of the "battle forms" they had adopted.

The [[Emperor of the Restoration]] received a message being sent across the universe by [[Dalek (A Dalek Awakens)|an ancient Dalek drone]]. He deduced that the drone was a survivor of a Time Squad that had yet to be sent back in time. From the message, the Emperor learnt that history was under attack and that the Doctor was involved. To obtain more information, he led a fleet to claim the [[Archive of Islos]].

After the Daleks threatened to destroy the Archive, the [[Archivian]]s appeared to surrender, but the Daleks found the building empty, and the [[Chief Archivian]] revealed that an [[The Entity (The Archive of Islos)|entity from outside time and space]] had agreed to transport the Archive's contents and the people of [[Islos]] to safety in return for the Daleks. The Entity emerged from a portal ([[WC]]: ''[[The Archive of Islos (webcast)|The Archive of Islos]]'') and attacked the Daleks, forcing them to retreat back to [[Skaro]].

There, they called up more forces to fight the Entity, but found their firepower ineffective, forcing them to [[Evacuation of Skaro|evacuate their home planet]]. The [[Dalek Prime Strategist]] went to acquire reinforcements from [[the Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy]], who was caring for ten-thousand dormant Daleks. However, the Entity arrived before him and took the Sentinel and dormant Daleks under its influence. After the Strategist refused its offer to become the new Emperor, the Entity's army attacked, fought by the Daleks led by [[Dalek Executioner (The Guide to the Dark Times)|the Executioner]] until the Strategist advised the Emperor to withdraw again. ([[WC]]: ''[[The Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy (webcast)|The Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy]]'') | ||
With the Daleks being defeated by the Entity, the Strategist plotted to pit it against another enemy of the Daleks - the [[Mechonoid]]s. Making it appear that the Daleks were nearly extinct, ([[WC]]: ''[[Day of Reckoning (webcast)|Day of Reckoning]]'') he and the Emperor travelled to [[Mechanus]], claiming to seek the aid of the Mechanoids. The Emperor spoke with the [[Mechanoid Queen]] in her star chamber whilst the Strategist demanded to see a scientist. Eventually, [[Mechanoid 2150]] took the Strategist to inspect the orbital defences. The [[Silver Dalek]]s escorting them grew impatient and began to fight the Mechanoids, who destroyed them. Observing the skirmish, the Queen noted no reinforcements coming to their aid and wondered if the Emperor and Strategist were now the only Daleks left. The power was suddenly drained from the [[Mechonoid City]], leaving the planet defenceless, and the Emperor revealed to the Queen that he had deliberately led the Entity there. ([[WC]]: ''[[Planet of the Mechanoids (webcast)|Planet of the Mechanoids]]'') Whilst the Entity [[Battle of Mechanus|laid siege]] to the Mechanoids' hasty defences, Mechanoid 2150 and the Strategist discovered a way to identify the Entity's energy trace and sent parts of it back to its original dimension. As the Entity broke through the Mechanoids, the Queen abandoned the Emperor out in the open, resulting in him suffering numerous strikes. He was saved when Mechanoid 2150 and the Strategist managed to use the orbital array to send the entire Entity back to its dimension. Furious at the Daleks' trick, the Queen ordered the wounded Emperor and Strategist to leave and declared that the Mechanoids would be coming for the Daleks.

Before she allowed the Eighth Doctor to travel back, the TARDIS also believed it was about time for the [[Ninth Doctor]] to win a war fought against death, so she decided to allow him to travel back to the Dark Times. The TARDIS was bringing the Ninth and Eighth Doctors to the past through the [[Time Fracture]] so they could be the ones to teach the Tenth Doctor he had made a mistake ([[PROSE]]: ''[[What the TARDIS thought of "Time Lord Victorious" (short story)|What the TARDIS thought of "Time Lord Victorious"]]'') Arriving in the Dark Times, the Ninth Doctor and [[Rose Tyler]] were caught up in the [[Eternal War]] between Gallifrey and the Great Vampires. They were captured by Gallifreyan forces commanded by [[Rassilon]] and escaped during an attack of [[Cucurbite]]s. Rose was abducted by the Vampires, forcing the Doctor to turn back and aid the Gallifreyans. He conspired to steal Rassilon's spaceship with a Gallifreyan scientist, [[Medicus Androkan|Androkan]], who had despaired at what Gallifrey had become after the War and deduced the Doctor came from their future. | Before she allowed the Eighth Doctor to travel back, the TARDIS also believed it was about time for the [[Ninth Doctor]] to win a war fought against death, so she decided to allow him to travel back to the Dark Times.

They followed the Curcubites to a [[coffin ship]], unaware that Rassilon was tracking them, and infiltrated it. They found it run by Vampires who had been turned and enslaved by the [[Three Mad Sisters]], who obeyed [[King Vampire|the Great One]]. After they were captured, Androkan was killed by [[Friar Grystok]], an acolyte of the Sisters, who took the Doctor before them and revealed Rose had been turned by them. The Doctor held off the Vampiric Rose's attacks and managed to send her to sleep when Rassilon's forces began attacking the coffin ship. The Sisters died during the attack and the Doctor convinced a Vampire guard commander, [[Drogann]], to seize the chance for freedom. Using a synth-blood the Doctor and Androkan had developed, Drogann freed the slaves whilst the Doctor sent out Rassilon's ship to distract the Gallifreyans so the coffin ship could escape. The Doctor used the synth-blood to cure Rose, but she passed out, needing some time to recover. He found a "nice moon" for Rose to recover on and left her in the care of Centia.

He helped the prisoners reach the bulkheads, purused by the increasingly insane Executioner, which was now damaging the ship further and killing Daleks in its rampage. The Commander was unable to rein it in, due to the earlier autonomy he had granted it, to the Strategist's frustration. After Groth was killed by the Executioner, the Doctor and Tiska reached the bulkheads, enabling the Doctor to detonate his device, which killed the Scientist and exposed the other half of the ship to the Vortex and broke the hull. With the timeship now breaking apart, the Strategist attempted to bargain with the Doctor for safe passage in his TARDIS. The Doctor played along, but, on the bridge, he revealed the deal to the Commander. This provoked a firefight between the Commander and Strategist, resulting in the Commander's death.

During the War, the Time Lords looked into the past and future of their enemy, with a range of sources providing "recent intelligence" that indicated the Dalek Time Squad had somehow managed to enter the Dark Times.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Engines of War (novel)|Engines of War]]'') Nevertheless, by most accounts, the conflict ended with multiple incarnations of the Doctor teaming up to freeze Gallifrey into a [[Gallifrey's pocket universe|pocket universe]], saving their homeworld and destroying nearly the entire Dalek race in its own crossfire.

Eventually the Tenth Doctor arrived on a spaceship approaching [[Orriv]] and became embroiled in their hunt for [[The Network (Echoes of Extinction)|the Network]], a psychic entity which had wiped out the planet’s population. After it killed and possessed the crew, the Doctor devised a way to contain the Network and confronted it. Recognising the Network had become a murderer due to being inadvertently tormented, the Doctor offered to get it help if it allowed him to contain it, citing his recent experiences of meeting death with death only making things worse, which it accepted. As he returned to the ship, the Doctor heard a broadcast by his eighth incarnation on behalf of the [[Tenth Justice Fleet]], warning people away from Orriv.

There the Ood elders gave him a prophecy that “it was returning” and showed him the resurrection of {{Simm}}. Rushing back to [[21st century]] Earth, he unsuccessfully hunted down the unstable Master, whose resurrection was failing, and was reunited with [[Wilfred Mott]]. He confessed to Wilf that things had gone wrong recently, even weeping, and his fears of his coming death or [[regeneration]]. After losing the Master again when he was captured by [[Joshua Naismith]], the Doctor sought out Wilf and together they investigated the [[Naismith mansion]]. Discovering two [[Vinvocci]] exploiting Naismith’s attempts to repair the [[Immortality Gate]], the Doctor realised what it was capable of but was too late to stop the Master using it transform the entire human race, save Wilf who took refuge in a radiation-shielded booth, into the [[Master Race]]. | ||

The Doctor and Wilf escaped with the Vinvocci to their [[Hesperus (spacecraft)|spaceship]] and hid, until the Doctor was stirred into action when the Master broadcast that he’d found a White Point Star sent to Earth. The Doctor reached the Naismith mansion just as the Master used it to connect to the signal implanted in his mind by the Time Lords on the last day of the Time War, instigating the [[Ultimate Sanction]]. Facing down President [[Rassilon]] and a vanguard of Time Lords with Wilf’s gun, the Doctor was guided by [[The Woman (The End of Time)|the Woman]] into shooting the White Point Star instead, sending Gallifrey back into the War, with the Master saving the Doctor from Rassilon by taking the opportunity to exact revenge for his years of mental torment and going back with them. Astonished he was still alive, the Doctor was horrified that Wilf was stuck in a radiation booth which was about to flood, having taken the place of a frightened engineer during the chaos. Though he initially railed against his fate, the Doctor went into the opposite booth and released Wilf, fatally poisoning himself.

As result of the Doctor's actions in the crisis, numerous artefacts from erased timelines began to surface. They were collected by [[Anke Von Grisel]] at her [[Verbier Museum of the Impossible]].
